Totally agree mate.I've got to admit, as the NRL world was excited by the return of The Plane in todays match, I found the entire experience just a hollow feeling.
I've never had a less empty feeling in my rugby league life, whether it was when I was playing, coaching or just supporting Parra, than I did today seeing The Plane play for another team today.
Even though I'm not overly fussed that he signed somewhere else, I'm devastated that he won't be playing for Parra.
The entire situation, from both sides and in all respects is just totally disappointing.

I can completely understand how you feel.
As excited as I was to see him back in the NRL, I too was devastated that he wasn't showing his sublime skills for us Eels.
It is what it is though. He has made his decision. The club made theirs.
I'm getting on with it and will cheer us on for the rest of the season all the while watching Hayne's resurrected career with very much interest. I'll never forget what he did for us as a player.
Gronk ignored my point earlier. Hayne had a career decision to make and he made it for himself. He only has a short time left in the game so why wouldn't he do what is best for him? I applaud him for his courage actually because he seemed genuinely torn not to have been at the Eels. He could have however, chosen his words better, but that just comes from pressure and inexperience. I've learnt that myself as I've got older as I've made plenty of mistakes before as well.
I don't think I've seen it very often in Rugby League, but I can site two examples of where fans have welcomed home a former hero of their own club.
In 1998, I went to St James' Park in Newcastle and watched Newcastle play West Ham. West Ham's keeper that day was Shaka Hislop, a Newcastle favourite and cult hero. When he walked onto the pitch walked towards the Newcastle active end, despite the fact he was playing for the opposition, he was given a standing ovation, the likes of which I'd never experienced before in any sport ever.
The same happened with Ante Covic when he was playing for Perth Glory vs the Wanderers at Pirtek. His first game back he was given a standing ovation when he walked towards the RBB end but by all sides of the ground.
He's been an Eel hero for over a decade. He has earnt our respect.
Lebron James was welcomed back to Miami with applause and highlights when he first played there after returning to the cavs too.
Maybe its just an Aussie thing to boo everybody.
Eels fans forget they've even booed their own team before, on many occasions. I shouldn't be surprised that they will now boo one of their all time greats.
To be fair, When Lebron first went to Miami and played in Cleveland he absolutely copped it! Probably worse than Hayne is
His number will be raised to the rafters beside Wade, who will be returning to Miami in Bulls gear after 13 seasons.Lebron James was welcomed back to Miami with applause and highlights when he first played there after returning to the cavs too.
No problems with that. I'd expect us to do the same to Hayne, but at least show him some respect.
ie. Runs on the field - not booed.
Drops ball - cheered loudly.
Kicks out on the full - lot's of cheering.
Throws bad pass over the sideline - extra loud cheering.
etc...
lolNo problems with differing opinions. Read above.
"Doing the plane" is probably part of his contract, vital to his ongoing "brand" and value of his TPAs.When Hayne scores his first try for the Titans I wonder if he will do the Hayne Plane or retire it completely?
That hyped up Hayne cam came back to bite him on the arse.Let the Hayne ref touch controversy articles begin...

It's the juvenile opinions from the school kids I have a problem with.

On a side note when Ronaldo played his first game for Real Madrid against his former club, Manchester United he scored and refused to celebrate. Didn't carry on after the game either. And nobody has a bigger ego then he has. I wonder if Hayne will be the same when he plays against us?
